Studio vs efficiency

Listings use the words loosely. A studio is usually one main room with a separate bathroom and a full or galley kitchen. An efficiency often means a smaller unit, sometimes attached to a house, with a kitchenette. Some beach towers have "hotel-style" studios built as part of a resort; ask whether those units allow annual leases.

Where studios show up

Older oceanfront condo buildings. Several 1960s and 1970s towers on South Ocean Drive have studio units. You get the building's beach access and amenities for less rent; see the The Wave guide for one example building.
Newer rental buildings along US-1 sometimes include studios with modern kitchens and in-unit laundry.
Efficiencies behind or attached to houses, mostly west of US-1. Check that the lease is with the property owner and that the unit has its own entrance and lock.

Making a studio work

Measure. Bring the floor plan or measurements to plan a bed, a sofa and a table.
Storage. Ask about building storage lockers or bike rooms.
Furnished? Some studios come furnished. Read furnished vs unfurnished.
Light and air. One-room units depend on one wall of windows. Visit in daylight.

Applying for a studio

The process is the same as any unit: ID, proof of income, a credit and background check, and association approval in condo buildings. A lower rent can make the landlord's income rule easier to meet; many look for monthly income of about 2.5 to 3 times the rent. Use our documents checklist.

Fair housing: every listing is open to everyone. We describe buildings, prices and processes, never who lives where.

Studio living checklist

Bed placement. Check where a bed fits away from the kitchen and the door.
Kitchen. Full-size or apartment-size refrigerator? Two burners or four? Is there an oven?
Ventilation. A working range hood or window near the kitchen matters in one room.
Closet space. Measure it; studios vary a lot.
Laundry. In-unit, on the floor, or in a shared room?
Parking. Many buildings still assign one space per unit, even studios.

Is a studio cheaper overall?

Usually rent, electric and furniture costs are lower. But in a condo building, association application fees are generally per applicant, not per unit size, so they are the same as for a larger unit. Compare the full move-in total, not just rent, with a 1-bedroom in a simpler building.

Tip: if you work from home, ask whether the building has a business center or co-working room. Several towers do, and it can make a studio much easier to live in.

Studios and the income rule

Because the rent is lower, a studio can be easier to qualify for under a landlord's income rule. If a 1-bedroom in the same building is just out of reach, ask whether the owner or a neighbor has a studio coming up; listing agents often know about units before they hit the MLS. Studios are a small share of the rental market here, so when one that fits appears, tour it quickly and have your documents ready.
